Romance and Laughter - Perfect Date Night Movies
Serious romance is hard work and just so, well, serious. Does it have to be? How do you and your husband relax? My guess is you need a few laughs to enjoy each other.
Here's a romance test for you. Would your husband rather cuddle up with you on the couch and watch a) The Notebook; a gorgeously romantic tear-jerker of a movie or b) watch dust settle on the flat screen TV.
My answer is easy. My husband would opt for a root canal rather than sitting through a movie like The Notebook or Terms of Endearment. Now don't get me wrong. That doesn't mean he isn't romantic. He loves me and our family very deeply. He's simply not a fan of traditional, serious romance movies.
There are some very important men in my life besides my husband. They have made movie night with my husband a wonderful part of our romance. So, a big Thank You goes out to Jim Carrey, Ben Stiller, Matt Dillon, Adam Sandler, Bill Murray, and Owen Wilson. A funny movie, with a nice love story weaving through it, is the perfect ticket in my house for a relaxing evening and a happy man. Romance is a funny thing.
Are you looking for a lighthearted fun romantic movie that both you and your husband will enjoy? Here are some of our favorites.
The Princess Bride (1987): At the start of the movie, Grandpa is reading the story of The Princess Bride to his grandson, who is appalled when he thinks the book is all about kissing, since that's how the story starts. If your husband is also appalled to watch a romantic movie all about kissing, he's in for a pleasant surprise; just like the grandson. We're talking Pirates, sword fighting, battles, castles, an evil Prince, and a beautiful Princess, all wrapped up in a very funny story, full of grown up humor, which will have you hooked on this romantic comedy forever more.
Groundhog Day (1993): This movie is not only funny, it's a look into human potential for love and living life through the repetition of one, dreary Groundhog Day... over and over and over... until a miserably cryptic weatherman, played by Bill Murray, can get it right. Through the process, he tries to figure out how to win the love of the woman who, well, starts out really not liking him in the least. The movie is a classic and one that you'll want to watch over and over and over and over...
Wedding Crashers (2005): Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are at their hilarious best in this movie. They are two divorce mediators all week and 'wedding crashers' on the weekend. They don't just sneak into weddings to meet women, they make themselves part of the party. They dance, get in the pictures, and make up stories about who they know... and everyone believes them. Eventually, you know there has to be a love entanglement or two. There are some love and life lessons to learn. You'll enjoy this light-hearted pick.
The Wedding Singer (1998): Robbie, the wedding singer and Julia, the waitress, are both engaged to be married, but to the wrong people. Anyone who remembers the 80s will thoroughly enjoy the setting, styles, and music. And, every woman will be teary-eyed when Robbie sings 'Grow Old With You' at the end... and watch your husband sneak a hanky, too. Adam Sandler is at his funny and romantic best. Cuddle up for some good laughs, and kisses!
Fun With Dick and Jane (2005): Dick and Jane are living a very good life, until Dick is set up as the fall guy for the company when its stock tanks. Now they have no jobs, no savings, no pension, and are living in disgrace in their community. The bottom really falls out when they receive their foreclosure notice. It's off on a crazy funny blue-collar crime spree, but, wait... life takes a very different turn and this couple is not going down gently. The humor and retribution make this Jim Carrey movie funny and wild, but with a heart.
Love Actually (2003): These are eight short stories of love and life, with a good spattering of laughs and light moments woven all through the movie. You'll see some romance, as well as love between a father and his son, siblings, and warm friendships. These are beautifully written stories that illustrate that there are many forms of love and that Love Actually is all around us. You'll laugh, yes, but be prepared to have your heart touched a little, too.
Romance doesn't need to be serious. It can, and should, be fun! Just relax a little and enjoy each other. Go grab a funny, romantic movie, snuggle up with your hubby and enjoy yourselves. - 23806
